Daily Photos 2008

The Photo-a-day project will reach 2 years on Jan 5, 2008. I'm going to have a common 2008 gallery of daily photos rather than monthly galleries. I'm not sure I can keep up with a photo every day, but I will try :)Please feel free to comment, critique the photos. I have learnt a lot here and hope to continue doing so..

Fantastic clarity and detail. You always capture birds so beautifully. What would you say are your favorite tips on catching these guys mid-flight? I'm a total noobie with birds and wildlife and would love to catch your secrets.
